    The caudate nucleus contributes causally to decisions that balance reward and uncertain visual information

    Takahiro Doi, Yunshu Fan ... Long Ding
    Caudate neurons encode reward and sensory information and the effects of caudate microstimulation mimic the monkeys' voluntary reward bias strategy.

    AMPAR/TARP stoichiometry differentially modulates channel properties

    Federico Miguez-Cabello, Nuria Sánchez-Fernández ... David Soto
    A variable number of auxiliary subunit molecules (TARPs) accompanying AMPARs have a differential impact on channel behavior showing also striking differences between AMPAR subtypes.

    Activity-dependent tuning of intrinsic excitability in mouse and human neurogliaform cells

    Ramesh Chittajallu, Kurt Auville ... Chris J McBain
    Similar to their mouse counterparts, human neurogliaform cells that comprise a specialized from of inhibitory neuron, possess the ability to modulate their intrinsic excitability in response to ongoing network activity.

    The roles of online and offline replay in planning

    Eran Eldar, Gaëlle Lièvre ... Raymond J Dolan
    Replay of recently experienced trajectories during a decision task is coupled with more effective adaptation to change, whereas replay during rest is associated with limited decision making flexibility.

    Cell-type specific innervation of cortical pyramidal cells at their apical dendrites

    Ali Karimi, Jan Odenthal ... Moritz Helmstaedter
    The composition of inhibitory and excitatory synaptic inputs to the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells in mouse cortex is specific to the type of pyramidal cells.

    Hippocampal neural stem cells facilitate access from circulation via apical cytoplasmic processes

    Tamar Licht, Esther Sasson ... Eli Keshet
    Neural stem cells in the dentate gyrus have unique cytoplasmic processes that promote privileged access to circulating factors by a unique contact point with an endothelial cell.

    Phagocytic glia are obligatory intermediates in transmission of mutant huntingtin aggregates across neuronal synapses

    Kirby M Donnelly, Olivia R DeLorenzo ... Margaret M Panning Pearce
    Prion-like transfer of mutant huntingtin aggregates from presynaptic to postsynaptic neurons is enhanced by neuronal silencing and requires passage through the cytoplasm of Draper-expressing phagocytic glia in adult Drosophila brains.

    Noradrenergic projections from the locus coeruleus to the amygdala constrain fear memory reconsolidation

    Josué Haubrich, Matteo Bernabo, Karim Nader
    The overactivation of noradrenergic inputs to the amygdala during severe fear learning increases memory stability at the expense of lability, rendering the trace resistant to memory destabilization and reconsolidation.

    Dietary sugar inhibits satiation by decreasing the central processing of sweet taste

    Christina E May, Julia Rosander ... Monica Dus
    Taste-dependent satiation, which induces proper cessation of feeding in mammals as well as insects, is weakened by sugar-diet-driven taste impairment in the fruit fly.

    The Natural History of Model Organisms: The unlimited potential of the great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis

    István Fodor, Ahmed AA Hussein ... Zsolt Pirger
    The great pond snail is a multipurpose model organism and a contemporary choice for addressing a wide range of biological questions, problems and phenomena in the laboratory and the field.
